Copy the Curb Appeal: Orlando, Florida

Built in: 1925. Bought in: 2013. Size: 1,147 sq. ft. “This house used to be mustard yellow, but it’s Mediterranean in style, so I wanted to paint it white like houses you’d find in Greece or coastal Spain," says homeowner Briana Lang. "It’s one of the first changes I made.”

Glazed terra-cotta tiles on the front porch and steps fit the home’s architectural style and the Spanish theme Lang had in mind for the exterior. Bowl-style stone planters along the walkway are filled with succulents, including aloe, firestick plants, and flapjacks.

Lang reserved the front half of her lawn for a mix of spiky mondo grass and dwarf boxwoods. By her home’s foundation are bright pink Hawaiian ti plants.

Hand-painted ceramic tiles deliver a touch of charm to the white stucco. Talavera ceramic numbers, $8 per number, and wrought iron colonial frame, $24, both finecraftsimports.com
